【Abstract】 Energy and environmental issues have become critical factors shaping contemporary economic and social development. In response to the International Maritime Organization（IMO）’s strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from shipping and China’s national goals of carbon neutrality, the development of low-carbon and zero-carbon energy sources has become essential for the future maritime industry. Compared with conventional fossil fuels such as diesel, ammonia fuel demonstrates a distinct advantage as a carbon-neutral energy carrier due to its inherent carbon-free molecular structure. When subject to complete combustion processes, the resultant products are exclusively dihydrogen monoxide and nitrogen gas（N₂）, thereby achieving zero emission of carbon-containing pollutants. This combustion characteristic positions ammonia as a particularly promising alternative fuel for maritime applications, aligning with stringent environmental regulations and sustainable development objectives. The paper addresses the corrosion risks associated with ammonia fuel, a promising zero-carbon alternative for the shipping industry, which can accelerate the degradation of critical engine components. To mitigate this issue, the paper focuses on developing ammonia-resistant surface treatment technologies to enhance the corrosion resistance of materials used in key components of marine engines. Environment simulation experiments of engine piston components under service conditions in ammonia fuel combustion products are conducted using a high-temperature and high-pressure autoclave. Surface nitriding treatments are studied for tempered 16 CrMo steel used in pistons to improve its resistance to ammonia corrosion. Gas nitriding and composite salt bath nitriding with QPQ（Quench-Polish-Quench） treatment techniques are applied to investigate the nitrided layer structures and their corrosion behavior in an ammonia fuel combustion environment. Both gas nitriding and composite salt bath nitriding with QPQ treatment produced compound layers with comparable hardness and diffusion layer thickness. The nitriding layer formed by gas nitriding consists exclusively of iron nitrides(ε-Fe_2-3N and γ′-Fe₄N), achieving a corrosion rate of 0.0220 mm/a in the ammonia fuel combustion environment, which represents a 13.39% improvement in corrosion resistance compared with the alloy substrate. In contrast, the composite nitriding layer formed by composite salt bath nitriding with QPQ treatment, comprising iron nitrides, carbides, and Fe₃O₄, demonstrates a significantly lower corrosion rate of 0.014 65 mm/a, corresponding to a 42.32% enhancement in corrosion resistance. These findings indicate that the composite salt bath nitriding with QPQ treatment provides superior corrosion resistance, making it a more effective surface treatment method for improving the performance and durability of 16 CrMo steel under ammonia fuel combustion conditions. In conclusion, both gas nitriding and composite salt bath nitriding with QPQ treatment rely primarily on the diffusion of nitrogen atoms into the substrate and their combination with iron. However, the latter achieves a synergistic enhancement of surface hardness and corrosion resistance through a "nitriding-carbonitriding + oxidation" process. Notably, under harsh conditions involving high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive environments, the multilayer composite structure formed by QPQ treatment significantly inhibits the penetration of oxidative media, thereby demonstrating superior corrosion resistance and economic efficiency. This process holds substantial engineering value for the application of 16 CrMo alloy steel in future high-temperature combustion or corrosive environments and offers a feasible direction for further optimization of salt bath compositions and process parameters.更多还原
